Local PTA Retention Plan (initiated when a Local PTA does not maintain Good Standing)

Notification: Texas PTA will notify the Local PTA of the action(s) required and allow the Local PTA 60 days, from the date of the notification, to attain Good Standing.

Restriction: A Local PTA that does not attain Good Standing within 60 days of the original notification will enter a restriction period. While in this restriction period, the Local PTA is not eligible for awards, programs or grants administered by Texas PTA or National PTA.

Intervention: If the Local PTA remains non-compliant after 45 days in the restriction period, Texas PTA will assign a Support Team to assist them, including the development of a written action plan to attain Good Standing.

Restructure: For Local PTAs that do not attain Good Standing following the notification, restriction and intervention periods, Texas PTA will begin the process of restructuring the leadership of the Local PTA or revoking the Local PTA’s charter.

Active Status is used to determine eligibility in many Texas PTA programs and services. Please reference specific program eligibility requirements to ensure your PTAs participation.
